Copy and Finalise DVD-R help

I have never used my super drive on my computer to burn a DVD.
Yesterday a friend gaveme a DVD of his childs school recital that he wanted to copy. I tried to use disk utility but kept getting an error so them I just copied the two folders on the DVD to my desktop and then draggged both folders to a blank DVD which copied everything and then i selected burn. The disc plays on any computer but will not play on any DVD player I have or my friend has. The DVD player manuals all say that the DVD disc needs to be finalised in order to play, How do I do this?

I tried to do that but kept getting an Input /output error and could not make a disc image using disk utilities that is why I copied everything onto the desk top and dragged it to the blank DVD-R and then burned it. Now how can I copy and finalise?
I cannot get iDVD to import anything, I tried import and I tried dragging the disc to the project windo neither seems to work but maybe I don't know how to use iDVD as well.
